  • I remember loving Zubeidaa as a teenager, kyunki waise rebellious years toh chal hi rahe thhe. But re-watching it as an adult, as a woman, able to empathise with not just Zubeidaa but also with her mother, her husband’s first wife, her aunt, the film hits different. Watch ‪@SucharitaTyagi‬'s throwback breakdown of the 2001 film.

    Karishma kapoor deserved the National Award for her surreal portrayal of Zubeidaa. A R Rahaman’s music was so soulful and melodies, one of his best works. Kavita Krishnamurthy as the voice of Zubeidaa weaved magic in songs like Main Albeli and Dheeme Dheeme.

    You could’ve given Karishma a little more credit but you glossed over her and went on and on about the others....Had it been a mediocre outsider, you would’ve assigned them qualities they did not bring to this role and carried on about their brilliance undeservingly....Karishma was amazingly brilliant as Zubeida, she made us feel every emotion, joy and torment she felt and she was so damn beautiful, she exemplified regal royalty of the time. That last scene, where she was so headstrong and pushed Rekha aside was so real. I do no remember a false moment with her. She really did deserve the National Award.....Kajol even got the best actress award over her for her loud, ott, nothing special acting in K3G, go figure, not undeserving and quite unfair!

    I remember I was in grade 8 when zubaida came out. I only saw it once or twice after the first time and it hit me deep everytime with same force like it had the first time I watched it. You are right this movie is all heart. Completely unpretentious. And I loved karishma 's performance.

    Zubeida is an underrated masterpiece. Interestingly, the screenplay was written by Zubeida Begum's son and film critic Khalid Mohamed (Yes, the same khalid Mohamed who used to write film reviews for Hindustan Times). The characters of both women: first wife as well as Zudeida are so incredibly nuanced. The double standards of the upper class Indian men have been exposed so well! The background score is so apt and poignant and one of the very underrated works of Rahman.

    This movie was, and is, a beautiful piece of cinema. I watched it on VCD (the days of two separate CDs) and was mesmerized by the experience. The soundtrack is pretty great as well.. Rekha was brilliant and Karishma was - Chef's kiss. Everyone must watch this piece of cinema.

    Filmfare has always been partial towards the more popular film. Karishma deserved the best actress award that year. She got the critic's best actress like some consolation prize when she gave the best performance that year. But guess what?? Kajol got it for K3G because it was the highest grossing movie of the year..when her performance was the most overacted one of all the nominees.

    • @mayurmenon1

    Thank you for this. The film is really close to my heart and is also one of my mother's favourite. One of the films we watched together. The film, pretty much like Bimal Roy's Bandini or Shekhar's Masoom, doesn't rely on flamboyant camera work and keeps the things simple so that the audience can simply connect with what the people in the film are going through. And the music, the haunting score and Surekha Sikri finally watching the film just breaks you but consoles, as she finally gets to see Zubeida one more time.

    I grew up in the late 1990s-early 2000's. Those were Karisma Kapoor's golden years. She was always on the TV screen in our living room. So, I grew up watching her and I think she never looked as beautiful as she did in "Zubeidaa". Everything from the costumes to the lighting flattered her like never before and never since.

So simple stories like that make some peices of art so special! Still haven't seen the movie but I guess I should!

    I have a lingering memory of this movie and the song which had the lines door kahi ek aam ki bagiya.. I couldn't get the song and the lyrics out of my head while a train journey to some temple the night after watching the movie. I was 13 years old and didnt know why i felt lost and sooo connected to the character. I just remembered she wanted to be an actress and that was enough for me to empathise. Also the scene where mandy didi forbids her from dancing with the local dancers is such a powerful scene. I relate to that as well. I wish I could write more im that much in love with the movie and the character.

I hope u don't forget this while reviewing art pieces in future because it is the basics of art critique. this is the basic point that makes the viewer connect with a movie or art piece and differentiate between an honest emotion and a propaganda machine.
